Founded in 1971 by Pitt Director of Jazz Studies and Professor of Music Nathan Davis, the event features a stellar group of jazz musicians who will hold free on-campus lecture/demonstrations, visit area schools and community venues, and then perform onstage as an ensemble in Pitt’s annual gala jazz concert at 8 p.m. Nov. 3 in Carnegie Music Hall, 4400 Forbes Ave., Oakland.

Details of the other Pitt Jazz Seminar and Concert events, including dates and times of the lecture/demonstrations, will be forthcoming.

Tickets for the Nov. 3 gala concert are $18 general admission and $8 for students with a valid ID. They are available for purchase at the box office of the William Pitt Union, 3959 Fifth Ave., Oakland, and 1-4 p.m. Mondays through Fridays at the Pitt Repertory Theatre box office in the lower level of the Stephen Foster Memorial, Forbes Avenue and Bigelow Boulevard, Oakland.
